Minor in Dance

The Minor in Dance is designed for students who want to keep dance as part of their lives while they major in another field and for performers who want to expand their dance abilities. The minor begins with a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology, pedagogy and choreography, and dance history, and then allows students to choose from a wide range of technique and choreography courses that suit their skills and interests. A placement examination may be necessary for admittance into technique courses.
